NUTAN BROWN’S
WALL OF FAME ... helping you is what I do Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust, confidence and exceptional service. Thank you for the Opportunity! We couldn’t be more grateful for the guidance and support Nutan provided during both the sale and purchase process. She knew exactly what we needed to do to maximize the value of our home and we were so happy that we followed her advice. Not only is she a true and seasoned professional, she is also a very caring and patient person. That made all the difference to us because selling our home was such an emotional experience. We centainly made the right choice with Nutan and will highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling. Thank you for everything, Nutan! ~ Jen and Mike Pilato Sold in Bloor West Village Purchased in Bloor West Village

SUMMER FUN with FRESH FRUIT
PIZZA 12
W
hen it comes to summer desserts, if you want to really razzle dazzle guests at your next party, think pizza − fruit pizza, that is. Kids and adults alike are wowed by this special dessert. And it couldn't be simpler to make.
Using a sugar cookie base, spread with a cream cheese-sour cream topping, arrange colourful red and black grapes, along with kiwi slices, in a pretty pattern. To serve, slice it just as you would a regular pizza. If you want to add extra fun to your party, make several small personal-size pizzas and let kids get creative with their own designs using the grapes and kiwi. Don't be surprised if adults decide to jump in and decorate their own pizzas, too. After all, who wants to miss out on summer fun? >>>
